Thank you for your feelings about the high cost of QSLing. This is a
hobby supposedly shared by people who do this for the love of the hobby,
not a business just  to deal with QSLing. Hopefully this sentiment will
get communicated among those who try and control and profit from our
great hobby. For them, I suggest some other method of making a living.
They must shudder from the thought of the pursuits of the ARRL to do away
with physical QSL's. Personally, I will miss opening that envelope and
seeing someones card for the first time. I have notebooks full of them
after over 40 years of doing this, I still treasure all of them. Maybe my
daughter will find a place for them in her future and beyond. Just a sign
of the times I guess.  -  John Owens (N7SEJ)
